How to Specify Steel-framed Bathroom Pods

Steel-framed bathroom pods give building customers and specifiers the benefit of factory-built bathrooms or shower rooms with porcelain-tiled finishes and a high level of design flexibility.

Applications include large-scale apartments, build-to-rent schemes, student residences and hotels.

High quality steel-framed pods can have either a double skin wall composition with timber and plasterboard or, preferably, a single skin wall construction with cementitious board to Lifetime Homes standards and wall loadings. Either of these solutions will facilitate tile replacement if required.

Specifiers should be aware that the entire wall and floor to the wet area of the pod should be fully tanked – not just half of the shower wall – and the floor outside the wet area, including the junction between wall and floor.
